Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

One of the first modifications I made to this car was to build these brackets. The idea was to complete the triangular bracing started by the two factory fender struts al-la Ford Mustang Monte Carlo Bar. I've been waiting for years to get the motor back in so I could build the cross bar (custom air filter housing in the works that it needs to clear). Last week I went to my steel supplier and picked up 5' of 3/4" OD tubing. Cut to length with a couple of tabs welded on the ends and it's done.
